♥ A benefit dinner in honor of Alexis Rasmussen will be held November 1, 2011, at the Marriott Hotel, Grand Ballroom, 247 24th Street, Ogden, Utah from 6 to 9. All members of the public are invited and welcome to attend.

If you choose to enjoy dinner, meal tickets will be sold at the door for $10.00 each, however, purchasing dinner is not required for entry into the event. Dinner will be buffet style and donated by several local restaurants, and the Grand Ballroom is being donated, compliments of the Marriott. Prize drawing tickets will be sold throughout the night for $1.00 each as well as wristbands bearing Alexis's name. Other festivities include a silent auction, a balloon release, and a bake sale. Please bring with you a yellow or green balloon.

Donations for a silent auction, prize drawings, and cash contributions are very appreciated and are being accepted at The Law Offices of Raymond Rounds, 2650 Washington Blvd., Suite 102, Ogden, UT, M-F, 8:30am-5pm, (801) 621-4015, and Children & The Earth, 252 W.
